Somebody mentioned a fivefold or sixfold increase in referral to colposcopy. I imagine there is a certain amount of stress among general practitioners and doctors to make sure that nothing is missed. Has work been done to develop care pathways for primary care practitioners so that we do not end up with a sixfold increase in unnecessary colposcopy?
